The authors evaluate the reliability of computed axial tomography in the staging of cervical cancer. This technique, neither invasive nor dangerous for the patient allowed to define better the involvement of perirectal fat tissue and of the external layer of the rectal wall. On the other hand it has some limits, in particular it is aspecific and unable to define exactly morphological changes of lymph-nodes and other structures.

Background: Cervical cancer is a significant health issue, especially in low- and middle-income countries like India, where it ranks fourth among women. The Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination, a vital preventive measure, has suboptimal uptake among nursing students. We aimed to assess the level of knowledge, attitudes, willingness, and reasons for non-uptake of HPV vaccination among nursing students.

Background: Oncogene-Induced Senescence (OIS) is a form of senescence that occurs as a consequence of oncogenic overstimulation and possibly infection by oncogenic viruses. Whether senescence plays a role in the pathogenesis of cervical cancer (CC) is not well understood. Moreover, whether cervical epithelial cells that are part of the premalignant cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), exhibit markers of OIS in Human Papillomavirus (HPV)-infected tissue, has not been investigated.

The ribotoxic stress response is a pathway that gets activated when ribosomes get impaired, leading to disruptions in protein synthesis, increased inflammatory signaling, and cell death if left unresolved. Taraxacum can induce apoptosis-associated ribosomal RNA (rRNA) cleavage, however, the exact working mechanism of Taraxacum-induced rRNA cleavage remains unclear. In this study, we used the RNA integrity (RIN) value and 28S/18S ratio to confirm the integrity of experiments.

Cervical cancer is predominantly caused by human papillomavirus (HPV), with oncogenic strains HPV 16 and 18 accounting for most cases worldwide. Prompt and precise identification of these high-risk HPV types is essential for enhancing patient outcomes as it enables timely intervention and management. However, the existing HPV detection techniques are time-consuming, expensive, and require highly skilled personnel.

Efficacy of current treatment options for cervical cancer require improvement. Previous studies have shown the enhancing effects of the addition of PARP1-inhibitors to chemoradiotherapy and thermoradiotherapy. The aim of our present study was to test efficacy of different combinations of treatment modalities radiotherapy, cisplatin, hyperthermia and PARP1-inhibitors using tumor models, treated patient samples and tumor models.
